INGREDIENTS:
- Potatoes- 3 nos (large)
- Veggies of your choice- 2 cups (I have used carrots, double beans also known as lima beans and sweet corn) (You can add any veggies of your choice or any easily available)
- Salt- to taste
- Chilli flakes- 1 tsp
- Black pepper powder- 1 tsp
- Chaat masala- 1 tsp
- Onion powder- 1/2 tsp
- Garlic powder- 1 tsp
- Crushed dried mint- 1 tsp
- Maggi masala- 1 tsp
- Chopped coriander leaves- 2 tbsp
- Bread crumbs- 1 cup
- Oil- for frying
PROCEDURE:
- Peel and chop all the veggies. Wash them thoroughly and let it drain in a colander.
- Boil the veggies along with a cup of water and a tsp of salt for 2 whistles. Don't boil the corn, we'll use it later as it is (frozen corn is f pre-cooked). Remove them in a colander and let it cool down.
- Now add the veggies to a bowl and mash it to a fine paste. Now add corn and coriander leaves to it.
- Now add all the spices and breadcrumbs and mix well. Check for seasoning and adjust accordingly.
- Take a small part of the dough and make it into cylindrical shape. Shape all of them and set aside. At this stage, you can freeze them and it stays fresh for 2-3 months when frozen. Thaw them and fry it.
- You can even refrigerate and sue it upto 2-3 weeks. I personally prefer using it fresh. You can even deep fry these nuggets, but I chose to shallow fry them. Add around 2-3 tbsp of oil in a hot tawa, carefully add the nuggets and fry them till golden while stirring them gently.
- Soft and crispy Veggie Nuggets are ready. Serve them right away along with ketchup.
